Hi girls! Finally got our Maternity/family photo CDs and uploaded everything so I wanted to share I am the lovely recipient of “Pregnancy face”, bigger nose and all, so I was worried I’d hate them but in the end I am SO happy we had these done and I really love how they turned out - So if you're debating I say just get them done - you'll be happy you did. I was so swollen I avoided the camera when I was preg with Caden and I really do regret it now.

I have 2 sets – Ones our photographer touched up and a few unedited ones, too. There were over 750 pics (over 50 retouched) so these are a few of my favorites.There are a couple more I forgot to upload apparently, oops.


We didn’t do the “typical” maternity photos, but they are exactly what we wanted We had these done in the middle of October - I was 29 weeks.

my favorite of Steve and I….




I like these with Caden in the back ground






There were several versions of this pic I liked a lot better – we don’t look like we just rolled out of bed as Steve said lol




There were some other versions of this one I liked better as well…


And there are versions of this one I like better, too – I look grumpy imo lol. There is a sign in the back of me she edited out so I may ask her to edit one of the other ones






The typical heart on belly, hehe. Scar is from my appendectomy in 2008.








My cute little family This pic I did the 8x10 of – it looks nice larger so you can see our faces






**************************

Un Edited pics – These are all the raw ones – some I really like and I might ask her to adjust the lighting and such on since she said she would but I think most of them are fine as is.





Caden’s lips where chapped so he was doing this in most of the ones of just him but I still think he is a cutie!









I think this is a cute one of Caden – too bad my head is in the way and it needs to be lightened










This one is a little stiff by my belly makes me giggle, hehe




I liked these better than the one she edited but they do need the sign out/lighting adjusted so I might ask her to retouch one.


Too bad the lighting didn’t come out better on this one –I look like buddah!

My head is in the way but oh well



I like this one a lot







These didn't quite turn out - The way Caden gives Parker kisses is more like he is being swallowed by my belly lol - but still sweet !

Love these! Will share how much it cost?

your family is beautiful, congrats on your coming addition.

Thanks!!

I found the photographer on craigslist looking to test some things out so the fee was free, we got 2 5x7s, and 25% off of reprints. We ended up just buying the CDs with all the images and the rights to print them on our own for $200 (normally $350) and she gave us $75 worth of prints as well.
